Sure, a lot of squawking and scurrying.

No effective action.

Nothing was going to change anyway, property is a bundle of rights.

Alaska might make property rights more explicit, and that merely affirms that property rights come from the State in the first place.

I noticed you have mentioned on several threads that nothing has changed. Please bear with my ignorance, I am trying to catch up with the issue at hand and would appreciate any insight you can provide.

I recall hearing about a family in Coatesville, PA that was had a long battle over their property with the city of Coateville. Here is a link to their site - http://www.saveourfarm.com/index.htm

The city was trying to have the property condemned in order to develop a municipal golf course. The family fought the city for several years and eventually agreed to sell 5 acres of their 48 acre property.

Now, what has changed is that with the Supreme Court ruling, again, I am not up to speed on the details, but on the surface, it would seem that Coatesville could simply take the property they wanted and the Saha's would have no legal recourse.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts on the matter.
